Person’s Day

October 18- Person’s Day

It was October 18th 1929 when the Highest Court of Canada had finally included women in the legal definition of “person.” On Person’s Day, members of UWCM salute the memory of those Famous Five, the five women who began the fight for such recognition. Let us cheer all women who have continued the fight by standing firm and advocating for their rights.

Due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic restrictions – and doing our part to “flatten the curve” – all scheduled in-person events have been suspended. Our May 20 AGM will take place virtually. Details will come later. Please stay home, practice social distancing, and refer to government directives.
